Periscope!
Not just a tool for submarines
Have you...
ever wanted to view the world through someone else's eyes? What if you could see through the eyes of a protester in Ukraine? Or watch the sunrise from a hot air balloon in Cappadocia? It may sound crazy, but Periscope wanted to build the closest thing to teleportation. While there are many ways to discover events and places, Periscope realized there is no better way to experience a place right now than through live video. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but live video can take you someplace and show you around. What an AMAZING way for students to share their museum project experience in REAL TIME!
